I am glad you have been lucky in your use of British public transport Nick,and I do believe you have been lucky. As someone who does not drive I am totally reliant on the use of buses and trains,(and mostly in smaller towns and country areas) I think that the word dirty can best be reserved for our buses,around where I live some are 20 years old! and the trains are often untidy as in unswept and seats covered in old papers food wrappings etc etc..and as for reliability! well if a train turns up at all one is eternally grateful,and my final rant which was the main point of my post,is the cost. Eg a journey from Ipswich to Colchester about(20 mins)£5.80 single. Any way I hope you keep your lucky streak when visiting blighty.
